I believe that the zoo has a responsibilty to protect it’s guests. If it cannot do that then it must either shut it’s doors or face the consequences.

To what level? Solid cement walls 50 feet tall? Are doors allowed, or only ladders?

I suggest you avoid all zoos, none will meet your standards.

Four feet below standards is not meeting the standards. And if four feet higher still allows a tiger to get out, obviously those were also not safe enough standards.

Unless you think the point of caging a wild animal isn’t to keep it caged.

How about we simply require zoos to meet industry standards and keep their walls at the required height?
